Comments on: Sacia, Other Republicans, Cry Race, Updated X 1 http://blogs.e-rockford.com/inchambers/2008/07/17/sacia-other-repblicans-cry-race/ The judge will see you now. Step into Springfield Bureau Chief Aaron Chambers’ chambers for an insider’s view on Illinois politics and government. No, Chambers isn’t a real judge. At least not in the sense of wearing a robe, wielding a gavel and issuing orders. But like a good judge, Chambers tells it like it is.

Yes, the Republicans definitely over-reacted. If they had just kept their mouths shut and let Rep. Davis' comment speak for itself, she would have been the one who took whatever flak resulted. Instead the Republican representatives are the ones on the defensive now. Even if she HAD explicitly mentioned race, her comment should have been left to stand on its own merits (or lack thereof). Sounds like everyone is getting a little testy over at the Statehouse these days. Can't say that I blame them, though. I’ll bite on this one! Yes, the Republicans definitely over-reacted.
